Bookdragon

We all know I LOVE reading  and we all know I LOVE dragons so....

Thanks Mamma for finding this gem.

Happy Reading Everybody!

A Glass Of Wine

I am a fan of wine...as my numerous posts talking about my consumption of said libation while reading can attest.  This weekend while exploring more book themed things that I don't really need but really want...while sipping vino...led me to these great glasses that I need to sip/gulp/slam wine from while I read.

Julius Caesar Quote Glass

Drink Me Alice In Wonderland Wine Glass

Pride and Prejudice Glass

Harry Potter House Cup Wine Glasses

Lord of the Rings Wine Glasses

So anybody who wants to send a couple of these over my way will be invited over to drink a couple of glasses of vino while discussing all the awesome books!  Happy Reading Everybody!

Gifts For Book Lovers

This month is the month of gifts, between graduations, weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, and Iamsosorryisaidthatstupidthingforthefiftithtime apology gifts there is a good chance you will be searching for the perfect gift for somebody this month.  If the person you are buying for is a book lover...or me :-)  maybe consider one of the following.

Reading Journal

This is a journal for a reader, it has space for everything, title, date, author, genre, and a zillion other things...in fact it is so perfect that I just got myself one!

Book Lamp

This would look great on a desk, or on a table in a library...'cause we all have libraries :-)

Clock Pendant

I love this pendant because you could give to almost any sort of book lover, plus it just looks really really cool.

Book Coasters

These would look great in any book lovers home, and may prevent some rings on books!

Novel Teas

Tea and Books, two great gifts to give to anybody on any occasion.

Hopefully this little cheat sheet will make the gift giving rush a bit easier to handle...or like it did for me, inspire me to buy two of everything so I can have one two :-)  Happy Reading Everybody!

GrAwErBlah

Have had absolutely no time to read at all lately, getting a little frustrating.  I am going to do my best to finish at least one book by the weekend so I have something to blog about!

Thanks for all your patience, normalish posting will resume on Monday.  Happy Reading!

Game For Book Lovers

Book Lovers Memory

I want this so bad! The cards have classic book covers on one side and famous authors, quotes and books on the other, a bookworm must have!

Dreeeeeeaaaaaammmmm Dream Dream Dream

Lately my wonderful Mamma has been posting the most drool worthy of personal home libraries on her Pinterest page, in fact she even made a special board just for me to go waste insane amounts of time on.  At the moment I live in a beautiful condo that has every available wall covered in (full) bookshelves, but my dream is to someday own a home where the bookshelves are so high I need a ladder!  Yep some people dream of world peace, some people dream of traveling the universe, I dream of laddered bookshelves :-)  Here are a few inspiration pieces for my dream library.

Double Room Library

I love how you can look through the arch to see a SECOND room stuffed full of books

Front/Up View Staircase Bookshelf

Top/Down View Staircase Bookshelf

Not a ladder, but the Staircase is a cool idea, especially for smaller houses

Light and Airy 

There are a lot of pictures at the website, this is the ultimate ladder bookshelf!  I love how light and open it is, makes me want to hang a hammock up

Super Tall Bookshelf

This may be pretty close to my dream shelf, I love the shape, the squares, the ladder...sigh (singing Someday my Shelves will come, Someday I'll own a house, and how thrilling that moment will be, when I build my shelf to the ceiling)

So these are just a few idea's for my dream house/library, what do you think?  What kind of shelves are your favorite?  Can it be called a library if there are no ladders?

Forest Book Nook

Oh man I want this so bad I would never leave!  I would probably put in some super comfy chairs, a coffee maker and a ton of comfy blankets.

Forest Book Nook

It's an actual library in New York, and it has over 10,000 books stored in the bottom part of the structure.  The windows all open so you can really appreciate the ambiance.  Could you imagine curling up here in all the different seasons!

Does this look awesome to you, or not enough places to plug in a lap top? Would you leave the windows wide open, or enjoy nature from a more controlled enviroment?  When I build my castle should I have a hidden path that leads to this "book tower"?

It's a Bed, It's a Book, It's a BookBED!!!

BookBed

I need this so bad!!!! I wonder if they make this for adults 'cause I would snuggle right down in that!
